We somehow got media credentials (shoutout to Natalie) and made our way to the USATF Indoor Championships—but not without a classic NMO logistical whoopsie.Once in, we witnessed elite track & field action, learned about the true athleticism of race walking (which we're officially rebranding as Thunder Strike), and got to chat with some legends, including Olympic gold medalist Dawn Harper-Nelson, shot put gold medalist Chase Jackson and pole vault champ Katie Moon—who may or may not have named her pole Paul.Back at our hotel we had an unexpected VIP hotel tour that quickly spiraled into a full-on quinceañera experience. Also in this episode: Erin's kids experience their first track meet, make some friends with other media, and ask hard hitting questions.Listen now and join the Thunder Strike movement.

“I would love to improve my indoor personal best. I mean, the next bar up from [4.91m] would be an indoor American record, that five-meter barrier. So you go 4.92m for a meeting record and then why not put it up to something like that? It's a very natural increment. I would love to get that record for sure, and then hopefully a couple more.” My guest for today's episode is Katie Moon, an Olympic and 2x World Champion in the women's pole vault. Moon added to her trophy case in 2024, claiming a World Indoor bronze medal and an Olympic silver. She accomplished all this despite fighting with an Achilles injury that delayed her outdoor opener until late May and affected her training all season. In our conversation, Katie gave us some insight into her offseason, reflected on a successful yet hampered 2024 campaign, and looked forward to what's sure to be a banner year for her in 2025. One of the first steps for Katie next season will be a trip to The Armory to compete in her fifth Millrose Games. She shared her excitement for returning to the iconic meet and the idea that she might have something big up her sleeve come February 8th. You can get your tickets at The Armory's website.

The sixth day of track and field at the Olympics was another huge one for Team USA! Quincy Hall claimed the 400m gold medal while Kenneth Rooks shocked the world with a silver medal finish in the 3000m steeplechase. As the events roll on, it's clear that the American athletes are making a big splash and setting the stage for an exciting finish to the Games. In tonight's edition of the Torch Talk, the team breaks down… – Quincy Hall won the Olympic gold in the 400m at Paris 2024 in 43.40, making him the 4th-fastest man ever. Brit Matthew Hudson-Smith took bronze and Muzala Samukonga of Zambia took bronze. This was the fastest 400m race in history, as five men dipped under 44 seconds. – Soufiane El Bakkali became the first man in nearly 100 years to successfully defend his Olympic steeplechase gold, winning with a time of 8:06.05. Kenneth Rooks won silver with a big PB, and Abraham Kibiwot of Kenya won bronze. – Nina Kennedy won the women's pole vault at the Paris 2024 Olympics, clearing a height of 4.90m. Her gold is the first at an Olympics by an Australian female vaulter. Reigning Olympic champ Katie Moon finished in silver, and Alysha Newman broke the Canadian record to win bronze. – Roje Stona of Jamaica set a new Olympic record with a 70.00-meter throw, earning the gold medal in men's discus in Paris. This marks Jamaica's first gold medal at the Paris Games and the nation's first-ever Olympic gold in men's discus. – In the 110m hurdles semifinal, Grant Holloway posted the fastest time of the day at 12.98 seconds. American athletes Daniel Roberts and Freddie Crittenden also advanced to the final.

In this episode of the Female Athlete Nutrition, I speak to the 2020 Olympic Champion in the pole vault, Katie Moon (née Nageotte). Katie will be looking to defend her Olympic title in a few days at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games! She touches on her bumpy build up to the Olympics, overcoming food poisoning and underperformance before winning gold. Katie details her steady progression in the pole vault from high school beginnings to NCAA D2 success and into her professional career. College was a big transition, and Katie opens up about the fear and anxiety that she's dealt with for years. She explains how going back to the basics and focusing on the process allowed her to reach higher heights. We dive deep into Katie's relationship with food and body image, something she's had to work on throughout her career. From unflattering pictures, social media comparisons, observing other athletes, and competing in a bikini, Katie talks about handling these triggers by focusing on her body's strengths, feeling good in training and competition, and learning that lighter is not better: to reach higher heights, Katie has had to gain strength, and yes, that meant gaining weight! We can all learn from how Katie has improved her body image, by caring more on performance and what the body can do rather than on what it looks like. Katie now embraces weight fluctuations and body changes throughout the year, and enjoys eating without restrictions. We discuss the impact of coaches and culture on nutrition and mindset, advocating for a healthy environment and support team that cultivates good habits around food, weight and training.

In this episode of the Female Athlete Nutrition, I speak to the 2020 Olympic Champion in the pole vault, Katie Moon (née Nageotte). She touches on her bumpy build up to the Olympics, overcoming food poisoning and underperformance before winning gold. Katie details her steady progression in the pole vault from high school beginnings to NCAA D2 success and into her professional career. College was a big transition, and Katie opens up about the fear and anxiety that she's dealt with for years. She explains how going back to the basics and focusing on the process allowed her to reach higher heights. We dive deep into Katie's relationship with food and body image, something she's had to work on throughout her career. From unflattering pictures, social media comparisons, observing other athletes, and competing in a bikini, Katie talks about handling these triggers by focusing on her body's strengths, feeling good in training and competition, and learning that lighter is not better: to reach higher heights, Katie has had to gain strength, and yes, that meant gaining weight! We can all learn from how Katie has improved her body image, by caring more on performance and what the body can do rather than on what it looks like. Katie now embraces weight fluctuations and body changes throughout the year, and enjoys eating without restrictions. We discuss the impact of coaches and culture on nutrition and mindset, advocating for a healthy environment and support team that cultivates good habits around food, weight and training.

Orcas Are Attacking Boats Near Spain. Scientists Don't Know Why This Thursday, the Supreme Court restricted the scope of the Clean Water Act pertaining to wetlands, in a 5-4 vote. This could affect the Environmental Protection Agency's power to protect certain kinds of wetlands, which help reduce the impacts of flooding by absorbing water, and also act as natural filters that make drinking water cleaner. Justice Brett Kavanaugh joined the court's three liberal members in the dissent, writing that the decision will have, “significant repercussions for water quality and flood control throughout the United States.” Plus, earlier this month, three orcas attacked a boat, leading to its sinking. This is the third time an incident like this has happened in the past three years, accompanied by a large rise of orcas attacking boats near the Strait of Gibraltar. Scientists are unsure of the cause. One theory is that these attacks could be a fad, led by juvenile orcas in the area, a documented behavior in this subpopulation of the dolphin family. They could also be a response to a potential bad encounter between boats and orcas in the area. Science Friday's Charles Bergquist talks with Sophie Bushwick, technology editor for Scientific American, about these and other stories from this week in science news, including a preview of a hot El Niño summer, an amateur astronomer who discovered a new supernova, and alleviating waste problems by using recycled diapers in concrete.     A Famous Sled Dog's Genome Holds Evolutionary Surprises Do you remember the story of Balto? In 1925, the town of Nome, Alaska, was facing a diphtheria outbreak. Balto was a sled dog and a very good boy who helped deliver life-saving medicine to the people in the town. Balto's twisty tale has been told many times, including in a 1990s animated movie in which Kevin Bacon voiced the iconic dog. But last month, scientists uncovered a new side of Balto. They sequenced his genes and discovered the sled dog wasn't exactly who they expected. The study published in the journal Science, was part of a project called Zoonomia, which aims to better understand the evolution of mammals, including our own genome, by looking at the genes of other animals—from narwhals to aardvarks. Guest host Flora Lichtman talks with Dr. Elinor Karlsson, associate professor in Bioinformatics and Integrative Biology at the UMass Chan Medical School and director of Vertebrate Genomics at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard; Dr. Katie Moon, post-doctoral researcher who led Balto's study; and Dr. Beth Shapiro, professor of ecology and evolutionary biology at UC Santa Cruz, who coauthored the new study on Balto and another paper which identified animals that are most likely to face extinction.     The Long And Short Of Telomere Activity Telomeres are repeating short sequences of genetic code (in humans, TTAGGG) located on the ends of chromosomes. They act as a buffer during the cell replication process. Loops at the end of the telomere prevent chromosomes from getting inadvertently stuck together by DNA repair enzymes. Over the lifetime of the cell, the telomeres become shorter and shorter with each cell division. When they become too short, the cell dies. Telomere sequences weren't thought to do much else—sort of like the plastic tip at the end of a shoelace. Writing in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers now argue that telomeres may actually encode for two short proteins. Normally, those proteins aren't released into the cell. However, if the telomere is damaged—or as it gets shorter during repeated cell replication cycles—those signaling proteins may be able to leak out into the cell and affect other processes, perhaps altering nucleic acid metabolism and protein synthesis, or triggering cellular inflammation. Jack Griffith, one of the authors of the report and the Kenan Distinguished Professor of microbiology and immunology at the UNC School of Medicine, joins SciFri's Charles Bergquist to talk about the idea and what other secrets may lie inside the telomere.   Philadelphia's Mütter Museum Takes Down Digital Resources Robert Pendarvis gave his heart to Philadelphia's Mütter Museum. Literally. He has a rare condition called acromegaly, where his body makes too much growth hormone, which causes bones, cartilage and organs to keep growing. The condition affected his heart, so much so that a heart valve leaked. He had a heart transplant in 2020. Pendarvis thought his original heart could tell an important story, and teach others about this rare condition, which is why he was determined to put it on display at the Mütter Museum. The Mütter Museum is a Philadelphia institution, a medical museum that draws hundreds of thousands of visitors to its rooms filled with anatomical specimens, models, and old medical instruments. The place is not for the squeamish. Display cases show skulls, abnormal skeletons, and a jar containing the bodies of stillborn conjoined twins.

On the whole, women's sports have been downplayed throughout history, and even in ancient times, some societies didn't want women to compete. Was it just because of the "falling uterus" theory? We talk with author Alexandra Allred about her book When Women Stood: The Untold History of Females Who Changed Sports and the World and the audacious women who dared to compete. In our history moment, we look at a women's first. At Seoul 1988, it was the first time that women had their own sailing (or yachting, as it was called back then) event.

Throughout history, many of the music industry's great artists are from right here in St. Louis. Fontella Bass is certainly up there with the legends. She was a pianist and songwriter, in addition to her vocal talents. And she helped write a famous song, that she had to fight to try and have songwriting credit on. Just press play to hear the whole story. ------ Click on search links to see if there are episodes with related content: Katie Moon, Women's History, Black History, People of Note, Music, Arts, Entertainment, and Culture, Podcast Transcript: I am not ashamed to say that I love Motown music. Even as a young kid growing up in Ohio in the 80s I loved listening to the oldies station on the radio. Marvin Gaye, the Temptations, Aretha…I loved them all. But hands down, my all time favorite song was Rescue Me by Fontella Bass. Imagine my delight years later when I moved to St. Louis and discovered that this was her hometown. ——— If you turned on the radio in late 1965, chances are you would hear Fontella's soulful voice singing that amazing song. But it had taken a tardy lead singer to finally convince her to step out from behind the piano and take her place on the center stage. ——— At the request of her grandmother, Fontella began playing the piano at funerals at the age of 5, and went on tour with her mother, gospel singer Martha Bass, at the age of 9. Born and raised in St. Louis, Fontella attended Soldan High School while already earning money as a musician. She became the piano player for Little Milton, a well known blues singer, and one evening, when he was late for a show, she covered for him, and her singing career began. Soon she was a regularly featured singer, and later became a highlighted act with the Oliver Sain Soul Review. ——— Fontella began recording solo records in 1962, but the songs just didn't gain much of an audience. It wasn't until she released a duet with Bobby McClure in early 1965 that her career really began to take off. A few months later, after an informal jam session and only 3 takes, she unknowingly recorded what would become her best-selling record. Released on September 4, 1965, Rescue Me climbed to number 1 on the R&B charts by October 30, and made it to number 9 on the Hot 100. ——— Unfortunately, Fontella wasn't included as one of the songwriters on the album, and spent years fighting for both recognition and royalty rights for the song she co-wrote. She continued to record through the 1980s, but the high point of her career remains the unforgettable song that will forever be tied to her name. ——— Here's History is a joint production of K-D-H-X and the Missouri Historical Society.

She opened schools in St. Charles, Florissant, and the city of St. Louis before traveling to Kansas to work with Native Americans, her lifelong dream. Over 150 years later, she was canonized as a saint by Pope John Paul II. ——— As someone who dedicated her life to the church, it's easy to assume that Sister Duchesne spent her days in prayer and contemplation, unfazed and untouched by the frustrations of daily life. But that assumption would be wrong. In a letter from the Missouri Historical Society's archives, Sister Duchesne writes to the Mayor of St. Louis, William Carr Lane, and expresses her horror at what her female students must deal with on a daily basis—walking by men and boys swimming in the creek near the school—a creek that also happened to be on Lane's property. Public swimming was a whole different experience before swimsuits hit the scene, and she wasn't having it. ——— She writes, “I have recourse to your authority for the redress of an abuse which I look upon as very much against the welfare of our establishment. You know, Sir, that our young ladies, day scholars, have to pass the creek that runs all around our house. The warm weather invites a number of men and boys to swimming in the creek, and every day our young ladies meet with that disagreeable sight, both coming [to] and leaving the house; and as I understand that some regulation of court forbids swimming in public places, I suppose that it is merely by some negligence of the sheriffs in discharge of their duty that it takes place. As you are Sir, the father of an amiable family I need not say how much that rudeness is against the delicacy of sentiments we strive to endow our young ladies with, and I am convinced that you will be so good as to use your power to remove that obstacle.” ——— Needless to say, Lane took care of the problem. ——— Here's History is a joint production of K-D-H-X and the Missouri Historical Society.

I saw a 9 story building burn; it covered one whole block. It was a grand, magnificent night, yet fearful and appalling in consequences. You have seen heavy hail storms—if you will imagine the hail to be balls of fire you can form a meager description of the fire. ——— It is very nearly lecture time so I will close hoping this will find you all well and happy, and expecting to hear from you soon.

Driving the first car ever built in St. Louis must have been an even bigger thrill. In 1893, cars were pretty much unheard of, but a curious young man by the name of J. D. Perry Lewis built his own and even took it out for a drive. In a stroke of luck, he wrote about that experience in great detail, and the full record lives in the archives of the Missouri Historical Society. Here's some of what he wrote: ——— So one afternoon in June 1893 I backed out of my mothers carriage house at the rear of 3014 Morgan Street in the first successful automobile that was built west of the Mississippi River and took a drive through the western part of the city. ——— I had no license plates on the car, and no restrictions as to where and how I should drive, no traffic signs, nor police officers to bawl me out for making a U turn on Broadway. The machine was an open roadster driven by an electric motor which derived its power from storage batteries under the seat. The speed was about 12 to 15 miles per hour downgrade and about 8 to 9 miles uphill. ——— After backing out of the carriage down into the alley a friend got in and we drove out to Grand Avenue, then South on Grand to Olive Street, on which street cable cars ran in those days. We went with a whirring sound of the gearing to Lindell Boulevard where we turned west for Forest Park. By this time several horse drawn vehicles were following the car but when I hit the downgrade to Vandeventer Avenue I outran them until I was almost to the park when they caught up again. ——— The return trip was just the same with the exception of the last two or three blocks from home we stalled and the crowd that gathered helped us the rest of the way by pushing. ——— Many good rides were had in the little car after that first trip and never a word from the law against me for the way I drove. ——— Here's History is a joint production of K-D-H-X and the Missouri Historical Society.

Over a century ago, St. Louis developed an extensive electric streetcar system that transformed the city, but the demand for public transportation in St. Louis actually began much earlier, and one enterprising transplant saw the opportunity and jumped on it. ------ A young man by the name of Erastus Wells (yep, the same Erastus Wells who founded Wellston, served in Congress, and was the father of Governor Rolla Wells) came to St. Louis from New York in the early 1840s with no plan other than to make something of himself and to make a profit doing it. ------ The population was booming, and businesses were sprouting up all over. The challenge for many St. Louisans was figuring out a reliable and convenient way to get from place to place. Wells saw that need and had a solution. He partnered up with a financial backer, and the two started the first public transportation system in the city, in the form of an Omnibus. ------ The name sounds strange to modern ears, but at the time, it was a popular mode of transportation in the east, and was simply an enclosed wagon with multiple seats and windows. Wells had his omnibus built by a local wagon maker, and purchased two horses with the last of his own money. He developed a daily route that covered the busiest streets in St. Louis, and drove whether he had passengers or not. Each fare cost 12 and half cents…what was then known as 1 bit. ------ After a slow start, the idea caught on and eventually as many as 90 omnibuses were operating across the city. In just a few years, Wells sold the company for a hefty profit and turned his attention to other endeavors. After a groundbreaking start in 1842, the last horse-drawn omnibus made its way down Jefferson Avenue in 1896, marking the end of an era. ------- Here's History is a joint production of K-D-H-X and the Missouri Historical Society.

They worked in the same research lab in Prague, published papers together, equals in every way. They would continue to be committed to working together for the rest of their careers. However, in 1922, Carl was offered a professorship in Buffalo, New York. Gerty received no such offers. Instead, she eventually worked as a research assistant in Carl's lab, earning just one-tenth of his pay. ——— In 1931, the Coris moved to St. Louis to work at Washington University, but Gerty was again forced to take a low-paying job as her husband's assistant. Despite differences in public status, she and Carl always worked as equals. When Gerty gave birth to a son in 1936, she was out of the lab for just 3 days before returning to work. ——— After 20 years of conducting research in close partnership with her husband, Gerty finally began to receive some recognition for her own exceptional work, and was promoted to assistant professor. Shortly after, in 1947, the Coris received the Nobel Prize for their discovery of the Cori cycle—the process the body uses to break down glycogen or sugar for energy, an important step in figuring out how to manage and treat diabetes. ——— Gerty was only the 3rd woman, and first American woman, to receive the Nobel Prize in science—preceded only by Marie Curie and her daughter. ——— For the next 10 years, until her death in 1957, Gerty received numerous awards, and prominent scientists from all over the world flocked to St. Louis to work with her.

Dogs are often called “man's best friend.” When their population grows out of control, however, it can be quite the opposite.

And that when one of those animals escapes or is seen roaming free, it's a huge deal. Well, in 1865, people in St. Louis had other animal problems to deal with—stray dogs were EVERYWHERE. The Civil War had just ended, and the entire country was trying to regroup, but in St. Louis, dogs, particularly “mad dogs” or what we would now call rabid dogs, presented a more immediate concern. Newspapers regularly carried stories of people getting severely bitten and also dying from hydrophobia, or rabies. ——— Without the modern technology of spaying and neutering, the number of dogs in the streets just kept growing, and the mayor decided he was going to fix the problem. In July of 1865, he passed an ordinance which require owners to muzzle their dogs and stay with them while they were on the street. Any dog found unmuzzled and loose could be immediately killed by the police. ——— Many wealthier dog owners moved their animals to the country during this time, and not without reason. Within a week of the law going into effect, the police shot and killed several hundred dogs. But their mission wasn't without mishaps (and happy results for the dogs). One officer chased a dog all the way to the Levee, where it jumped to safety onto a raft that happened to be floating by. When the officer attempted to follow, he fell into the Mississippi River and had to be rescued. ——— The initial public response to the mayor's initiative wasn't overwhelmingly positive, for several reasons, and it didn't improve. The police were using valuable ammunition to kill dogs. In response, the mayor amended the law, stating that the officers should use means other than shooting. Needless to say, this didn't improve the public opinion of the entire initiative. By the end of November, the vast majority of police officers were no longer enforcing the law. Instead, the city hired 2 dog catchers who would hold the animals until they were claimed by their owners, died from rabies, or unfortunately had to be put down. ——— Here's History is a joint production of K-D-H-X and the Missouri Historical Society.

In fact, she believed their lives depended on it. The threat of tuberculosis was very real in 1912, especially for overworked, underfed, and poorly housed city workers. Some US cities tried to thwart the disease by providing facilities where workers could eat, rest, and spend time outdoors. But no such place existed in St. Louis. ——— July used her considerable wealth and influence to create the first open-air “rest camp” for young working women. As a regular customer at many of St. Louis's retail stores, she became friends with the shop girls, who shared concerns about their health. Fear of tuberculosis was at the top of their list. As a mother of 4 daughters, July must have felt a particular responsibility to help these women, and quickly got to work. ——— After convincing the president of Laclede Gas Company to donate three acres of land in south St. Louis for a rest camp, July began the hard work of fundraising. Despite claiming that she didn't have a mind for business, she raised nearly half of her $5,000 goal in just two weeks. When she received a check for $10,000, she created an endowment fund, which earned interest at 6 percent. ——— In less than a year the Night and Day Camp opened its doors at 9500 South Broadway, conveniently located close to a streetcar line that the women could ride from downtown. A newly built house on the property provided accommodations for 28 women, many as young as 15, and for the weeks they were there, all of their meals were provided, along with medical care and ample time to rest and recuperate and enjoy the natural environment. No men were allowed on the property, other than the regular visits of the attending physician. ——— Although the camp later shifted its focus to serving undernourished children, it remained in operation for more than three decades. ——— Here's History is a joint production of K-D-H-X and the Missouri Historical Society.

By 1943, she was desperate to get a first-hand view of the war in Europe, but the newspaper refused her requests to make her an official correspondent, because she was a woman. Instead, she took a leave of absence to volunteer for the Red Cross in England, where she continued to send articles to the paper, and eventually they began printing them. Her human-interest stories struck a chord with readers and became quite popular. ——— By July of 1944, Virginia had maneuvered her way to France, literally to the front lines of battle, and most definitely to a place where she wasn't supposed to be. But despite her disregard for rules and regulations, the Post continued to publish her stories, with her editor, Joseph Pulitzer encouraging her to continue. ——— By April of 1945, Virginia had her sights set on the ultimate story—reporting from inside Berlin as the Russians attempted to seize control over the city that had become the center of operations for the Nazis. ——— She was supposed to get official permission from the Army to travel, but instead, she convinced an Army sergeant to drive her and another correspondent to Berlin in the middle of the night. Although they started out with a map, once they made it behind Russian lines, the map was useless,and they guessed at their route. They finally got to the city on April 27th, the first Americans to arrive and witness the battle between the Russians and Germans for control of the city. ——— After 2 days, they returned to base camp, and were promptly suspended for their actions. Because of her suspension, Virginia's stories weren't submitted to the Post Dispatch until several days later, and finally published by the Post-Dispatch on May 8, and her risky trip made the front page. ——— Stripped of her credentials, she was sent home, seemingly in disgrace, only to discover upon her return that her reporting was hailed by the both the public and her boss, Joseph Pulitzer.

So often, the history that we learn skips over the daily patterns of life and jumps from big moment to big moment. For me, the most fascinating aspect of history is discovering how those big moments played out in the lives of everyday people, particularly women. ——— When Thomas Jefferson purchased the Louisiana territory from the French in 1803, the transition created nothing less than chaos for some St. Louis property owners—especially women. In the early days of the city, much of the land was parceled out through informal verbal agreements, but all of a sudden, landowners needed to prove that they rightfully owned their property. ——— Unfortunately Marie LaBastille, a free woman of color, lost an entire block of land at the center of St. Louis because she didn't have written documentation of ownership. However, she did maintain a hold on her house, which sat on nearly half an acre of land in a prime spot at Third and Walnut. As the city grew, her property became more valuable, and her neighbor, John Beaufils pestered her for years about selling it to him. In 1812, she finally relented. ——— But that's where Marie's story gets even more interesting. Instead of simply selling the property to Beaufils, Marie deeded him the house and land but required that he provide her with certain supplies every year and allow to her to live there rent-free until her death. According to that deed, which is in the Missouri Historical Society Archives, Beaufils agreed to give her, every single year: 20 pounds of coffee, 25 pounds of sugar, 300 pounds of flour, 80 pounds of pork, 20 pounds of beef, and 25 loads of firewood. ——— He clearly thought that he was getting the better end of the deal, expecting that the aging Marie would pass away within a year or two. He was horribly wrong. Marie lived for 14 years, living rent free and having her needs met by her greedy neighbor. ——— Of course the Louisiana Purchase was a significant moment in St. Louis history, but for me, the related story of Marie LaBastille is the one that puts a smile on my face and answers some of my questions about what life was like for women in early St. Louis. ——— Here's history is a joint production of the Missouri Historical Society and KDHX.

And her approval mattered. ——- She aligned herself with the state's official Food Inspector, who, like most state workers, had too many responsibilities and not enough staff. ——— As an unpaid volunteer, Miriam was able to fill that gap, and took her work incredibly seriously. Not only did she begin conducting her own inspections of St. Louis establishments, she also made sure that she was accompanied by a newspaper reporter. She rated each facility from 0 to 100 percent compliant, and only those with high numbers received membership in the League's “White List” of approved businesses and had the honor of posting a sign in their window. ——— Miriam's approval carried such influence that many business owners began cleaning and updating their shops as soon as they heard that she would be stopping by, knowing that a bad inspection could ruin their business but a good one could almost guarantee future success. ——— By 1915, Miriam had gathered a group of 48 dedicated women, all volunteers, who had been sworn in by city officials to serve as temporary city health inspectors.

I've seen and exchanged emails/tweets with The Last Good Year a couple of times over the years, but it was the insistence and efforts of Aaron Patrick that finally got these guys on the show in advance of their new single, Steady Road, and subsequent tour.  As you may have noticed, with the recent publicity afforded us by the radio station and associated launch party, so far in the month of August, I've put together about as many podcasts as I did in the entire year of 2011.  Therefore it seemed only natural to drag Aaron along and give him the quick field promotion to co-host, as he has always been a vibrant personality in his appearances a guest.  He did not disappoint.
